Marine Serre Presents Florentine-Inspired Spring/Summer 2025 Collection For Pitti Uomo

In the suburb of Fiesole—a few miles from Florence—the special guest of Pitti Uomo 106 presented her co-ed Spring/Summer 2025 fashion show. Marine Serre transformed Villa di Maiano, an original residence from the 1400s, into the perfect venue for her show. "It's an honor for me and my team to be Guest Designers of Pitti Uomo this season," said Marine Serre. "It's the first time we're taking our show outside of Paris. When I saw the location for the first time I was struck because it reminded me of the settings of the film The Godfather which is a film that I loved and I was inspired by these vibes." In the garden, the show opened to the sounds of experimental Italian music.

Famous faces such as Marie Sophie Wilson, Kit Butler, Mark Vanderloo, and Maggie Maurer paraded in the gardens of Villa di Maiano, followed by a casting of models that spanned over 24 nationalities. The true spirit and universality of the Marine Serre community emerged. Lunettes, the trademark of the French brand, were airbrushed onto the leather garments while upcycling appeared with a less overt approach than typical for the designer. Also apparent within the collection were styles that were evidently of athletic origin, and designs were accented with a traditionally bold couture attitude.

"Always Bonded" is a Spring/Summer 2025 collection, complete with both men's and women's clothing, that brings strong, universal messages to Pitti, with notable takes from the archive, without forgetting the Florentine culture of men's clothing and leather goods. "I had fun designing this new male silhouette made of red, purple, and brown leather. And of course 12 couture looks including handmade jeweled bodices, others with a more sporty approach that have been deconstructed from tennis bags and hiking backpacks," the designer continued.

For the finale, the runway transformed into a solemn song of white silhouettes. The 10 final garments were made with recycled household linens, classic tailoring, wedding dresses, and upcycled lace—a political action in itself and a proclamation of the love of the craft.
